[Ignis is grateful that Noctis doesn't bring up the realistic side of things. He's very well aware of them when he's not in a state like this where he feels that everything he does will never amount to anything. These are far few and in-between situations, however, and Ignis will keep them that way. He doesn't want to worry anyone about his doubts in his own opinions and decisions.
He will need a few moments to recollect himself, and a day or so to prove to himself that Noctis is alright, that he will be alright. Shifting his head a bit, his eyes search for Noct's lantern that's hanging on the wall, and Ignis sighs.]
I promised, didn't I? That I will always stand by your side.
[And there is no other King he would ever bow to.]
[These moments were rare, so few and far between that it was difficult to even recall when they had happened last. When Ignis' guard would fall just enough, when he would allow himself to be weak, to need. And gods had Noctis always been terrible about rising to the occasion. About being the strength that Ignis was searching for.
So many things had changed. Come heaven or this hell they had found themselves in, that was going to be one of them.]
You've always had my back. And I've got yours, you know that, right? I've got you.
